Über Unterbiberger

About This Movie

Über Unterbiberger delves into the life of Franz Himpsl, who seems to embody the spirit of a true artist. The documentary captures his eclectic journey through the world of Bavarian folk music, enriched with jazz and global influences. It’s fascinating how Franz, with his family—especially his wife Irene and their sons—forge a new path in a traditional genre. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the pacing feels organic, allowing you to soak in the performances, which are heartfelt and spirited. I appreciate the practical effects that enhance the sense of place. There’s a chaos in his artistry, a beautiful mess that draws you in. It’s the kind of film that makes you feel connected to the music and the people behind it.
